FRIENDS OF ERTSUL
Inside every ERTSUL package you will find other artefacts made by a variety of other creatives and artists. Every artist has been chosen because their values and and ideas align with ERTSUL’s. However they all of course have their own nuanced and unique experiences of life, which you will find expressed in their work.
The idea is that through including the work of these artists in these packages, you can find out about other similar creatives through which you can learn and explore the world. The artists are supported and your experience is enriched by the depth and creativity of their work. The artists involved have all been given freedom with the work they want to include in the packaging, allowing them a platform to share their vision and ideas, whilst enriching your experience.

Sometimes the artists’ work will serve a purpose within the packaging, e.g. a crochet jewellery pouch, other times, you will find colourful prints to decorate your house, or incense to bring calm and presence to your day.
After a certain amount of orders, the contents of ERTSUL’s packaging changes, and the artefacts included are rotated to feature new artists/creatives.

Duplikat Press is a Hackney based Risograph studio and shop, producing eco-friendly prints, stationery and publications. Riso printing is a speedy, low cost and environmentally friendly printing technique that uses soy-based inks. I first found out about riso printing through Heather - another Friend of ERTSUL.
Duplikat printed the ERTSUL inserts inside each package, printed on ‘Alga Carta’ - a paper made from eco-system damaging algae from the Venice Lagoon.
